예술 지원 경로에 따른 예술인 삶의 질 효과분석

Abstract

Analyzing the data of the 2015 Survey Report on Artists & Activities conducted by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Culture & Tourism Institute, this research delves into the quality of artistic lives at a social and personal level.
 The analysis first unveils that the satisfaction level of arts policy appears to be high amongst artists who receive grants from public institutions such as Arts Council Korea, Korean Artist Welfare Foundation, and Korea Creative Content Agency. Moreover, the satisfaction level also rises in proportion to the grants they receive. Moreover, artists in performing, visual and popular arts tend to be more content with arts policy than those working in literature.
 Second, based on the statistical data of the artists who receive grants from public institutions, no meaningful correlation is discovered between the grants and artistic satisfaction in arts activities.
 In comparison, a high level of satisfaction with art activities is manifested by the artists who are given governmental funding from the central or local government bodies or corporate grants such as arts funding from Korea Mecenat Association.
 Meanwhile, artists from the metropolitan area, which is deemed to have a well-established infrastructure for artistic support, show negative attitudes towards arts policy.
 Such results indicate the potential disparity between artists’ perception of their satisfaction with arts policy and their real satisfaction through individual art activities. Thus, this study proposes that an in-depth analysis of artists be designed more sophisticatedly with multi-layered approaches.
